I thought I would share a handy formula that can be used for shifting masses around for PPL or CPL.

Weight to be shifted/ Total weight = Change in centre of gravity/ distance of weight to be moved

If you know any 3 you can get the other figure!

Example: The loaded mass of an aircraft is 1850lbs
the moment is 154,000
How much mass must be moved from the forward hold 40 inches aft of the datum to the rear hold which is 158 inches aft of the datum?
The CG limits are 86inches forward and 90 inches aft.

Trying to prepare for Radio Nav at the moment while retaining agk,met, performance,planning and m&b. Thanks for the turbine cd rom mate very useful. Popped down to see richard too at Bicester yetserday to run over traffic loads again (make sure im doing it right).
Hows NZ?
